This invention relates to a displaydevice and particularly to animproved display ture especially adapted for displaying flowers eitherin pots or other receptacles or after the same have been cut.,

The object of the invention is to provide gle stand may be used with anumber of at-' tachments to receive and support diflerent articles inconnection with the flowers.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side view of a displayfixture disclosing an embodiment of the invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view through Figure 1 approximately on line 22.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the structure shown in Figure 1 togetherwith an attachment applied thereto.

Figure 4 is a sectional view through Figure 3 approximately on line 44.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary sectional View through Figure 2 approximatelyon line Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, indicates abase of any de sired kind to which a member 11 is secured by beingscrewed therein as shown at the bottom in Figure 1. Near the upper endthe tubular member 11 is provided with an opening 12 for accommodatingthe tongue 13 of the catch 14. This catch is provided with a handle 15merging into the tongue 13 and into the side arms 16 and 17, said sidearms having inwardly extending sections 18 and 19 projecting a shortdistance into the tubular member 11 and acting as pivotal supports. Thetongue 13 co-acts with the annular shoulders 20 formed in the supportingrodor shaft 21. This rod or shaft has a threaded upper end on which abase 22 may be screwed. The base 22 is .provided with spaced projections24 and 25 on diametrically opposite sides and between these projectionsthe ends of the supporting arms 26 and 27 are placed, said supportingarms being held in place by rivets or other securing means. The base 22is preferably provided with an annular flange 28 and with a drain outopening 29 whereby a pot of flowers or other receptacle may be depositedon the base or held above the" ase-as Shown in'Figu'res' 1 and 2'.

The upper end of arm 26 is provided with an aperture for receiving thepintle 30 secured to the ring 31 while the upper end of arm 27 isprovided with an aperture 32 through which the screw 33 extends, saidscrew having a winged head 34 whereby it I may be applied and removed atany time for clamping the ring 31 tightly against the upper end of arm27 and thereby prevent its swinging movement. A lug or shoulder 35extends from arm 27 near the aperture 32, said lug co-acting with thebevel faces 36 and 37 (Fig. 5) formed on the enlargement 314 of ring 31whereby the tilting movement of the ring is limited.

In use, the stand arranged as shown in 1 Figures 1 and 2 is used toreceive an ordinary flower pot 38 or some other receptacle and hold thesame at an angle so that the flowers may be properly displayed. Ifdesired, the flower pot or other, receptacle could be held vertical asshown in dotted lines.

Under some circumstances, it is desired to support a smaller flower potor receptacle than that shown in Figures 1 and 2 and when this is thecase a liner 39 is provided 3 which is a ring having a tapering bore anda plurality of laterally extending lugs 40 adapted to hook over the ring31. These lugs are usually provided with extending ribs 41 so as toproperly space the liner 39. If desired, a plurality of liners could beused where a very small pot is to be supported though ordinarily oneliner is sufficient.

What I claim is 1. Adisplay stand for flowers comprising a base, atubular member mounted on said base, a sliding rod mounted for verticaladjustment in the tubular member, a disc removably connected with theupper end of the rod and provided, with upstanding arms at 0nd arm andhaving a threaded engagement with the passage in the enlargement of thering for locking the ring in position, the enlargement being providedwith a V-shaped bottom,'a shoulder on the second mentioned arm adaptedto be engaged by the sides of the V-shaped bottom of the enlargement andcooperating with the adjustingbolt for locking the ring in a pluralityof tilted positions.

2. A display stand for flowers comprising a drip pan, arms connected tothe periphery of the pan and extending upwardly there- 'from, a ringpivotally mounted at diametrically opposite points to the upper freeends of the arms, stop means on the upper free end of one of the arms,means on the ring adjacent the stop means'and cooperating with the stopmeans for maintaining the tiltable ring in a plurality of positions,means for locking the ring in adjusted position,

and an adjustable support adapted to be res movably connected with thebottom of the drip pan.
